KU initiates Research Week
By MATTHEW HARRISON Staff Reporter
The second annual University of Kansas Medical Center's Research Week began yesterday with members of the KU administration, faculty, the Board of Regents and others emphasizing the importance of basic medical research.
"Research Week gives us a unique opportunity to remind the citizens of Kansas of what we have achieved here," said Chancellor Gene A. Budig, in his opening address. "Research week also gives our researchers a chance to point to future areas of endeavors."
The day's events began with the official dedication of the new Archie R. Dykes Library of the Health Sciences located north of the observation building on the Med Center campus.
Gov. John Carlin was scheduled to speak at the ceremonies, but did not attend because of injuries he received in a car accident last week.
The new 147,000 volume capacity library was named after Dykes, a former KU chancellor.
At the afternoon ceremony, held in Battenfeld Auditorium on the Med Center campus, Budig

Budig closed his remarks by saying, "We must remind the state leaders that KU cannot excel without viable research."
said that instruction and research were inseparable ideas.
John Montgomery, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, said that the Med Center was one of the best hospitals in the area and was supported by the state accordingly.

Earthquake in north Chile kills one, destroys homes
By United Press International
SANTIAGO, Chile — A strong earthquake jolted northern Chile yesterday, killing one person, toppling at least 40 homes and causing buildings to sway as far as away as São Paulo, Brazil — 1,300 miles to the
At least 12 people were reported injured in the quake, which struck at 3:53 p.m. CDT, measured 7.2 on the Richter scale of intensity, and knocked out electricity and telephone service in several cities.
The government radio said that the quake trapped and killed a miner in the San Luis mine 40 miles north of Chanaral and that a dozen people were hospitalized in Chanaral. Copiapo, the hardest hit areas.
A SPOKESMAN FOR the Interior Ministry said 40 houses collapsed in the town of Diego de Almago, about 560 miles north of Santiago.
The Interior Ministry spokesman said the lack of reported deaths from the damaged area could be attributed to the fact that most people were not at home when the quake struck
In the mining city of Copiano, 500 miles north of Santiago, the quake lausted four minutes and hundreds of people ran from their homes to seek shelter in the street, radio reports said.
Police said windows broke, and some walls collapsed at El Salvador, about 380 miles north of Santiago. Children were evacuated from schools, and the water system was shut down.
Cracked walls and minor landslides also were reported in other towns in the region. Telephone numbers from four northern cities, officials said.

Helms ends Senate filibuster, agrees to a vote on proposed King holiday
By United Press International
WASHINGTON - Sen. Jeeves Helms, R-N.C., abruptly dropped his filibuster yesterday against establishing a national holiday for slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and agreed to a final vote in two weeks.
"That's fine with me," Helms said as Senate Republican leader Howard Baker outlined a proposed time agreement that would provide for debate and voting on amendments on Oct. 18 and 19 with a final vote on the second day.
Senate leaders were still cavassing Democratic and Republican senators to determine whether there was any objection to the agreement.
A spokesman in Helms' office said the senator was unavailable for comment.
PRIOR TO THE breakthrough, worked out in behind the-scenes negotiations. Helms had threatened a filibuster that would have prevented a vote at least past Oct. 17, when
Congress is due to return from the annual Columbus Day recess.
The House has already approved legislation making King's birthday a national holiday and the White House had appointed Hoeagan was prepared to sign the bill.
Earlier yesterday, the son of Martin Luther King Jr. defended his father against charges by Helms that King was a communist and provoked vioc
"It's not necessarily malicious," said Martin Luther King III, 25, on the steps of the Capitol. "He (Helms) just doesn't understand Martin Luther King."
He joined a group of congressman to begin a 24-hour vigil in support of the
HELMIS SAID HE opposed the cost of giving federal workers another paid holiday, and he also denounced King for promoting a lack of nonviolence as a provocative act."
Asked if he believed King was a communist, the senator said Monday, "I don't think there's any question about that."
But King's son said Helms' accusations did not offend him.
"I'ts obviously some misinformation on the senator's part," the young King said. "He (King) tried to help all citizens, and it showed the rights and privileges of all people."
"It is time for them (opponents) to sit down and shut up," said Rep. Ed Markev, D-Mass.
Congressional supporters of the bill were less conciliatory, however.
"He's been out of step with America for many years," shouted Robert Garcia, D.N.Y. "His filibuster will go down in defeat and in spite of Jesse Helms, we will have a national holiday."
THE CONGRESSIONAL. BUDGET Office estimates the holiday on the third Monday in January would cost the federal government $18 million in lost productivity. Helms says the price tag is more like $4 billion to $12 billion because banks and stores around the country would close for the holiday.
